The Clinical Biochemistry Lab of the University of Pisa and the MRI Lab of the National Council of Research (C.N.R.) organize the FMRI analysis with AFNI and SUMA course ** The course is scheduled in Pisa (Italy) for 25-29 September, 2004 **. This is a course designed to teach participants the details of volume- and surface-based FMRI analysis using AFNI and SUMA software.
The program is a 5-Day intensive workshop, that includes lectures on pre- and post processing of FMRI data (image registration, intra- and inter-subject statistical analysis with linear regression, deconvolution, ANOVA) hands on sessions (covering statistical analysis, ROI drawing, volume rendering, surface mapping, etc.), and seminars on the basic principles of FMRI physics and experiment design.
Drs. Robert W. Cox and Peggy C. Christidis, from the Scientific and Statistical Computing Core of the NIMH Intramural Research Program, will be conducting the workshop.
Classes will held at the C.N.R. Research Campus in Pisa and are open to participants from all countries. Participants will be grouped in pairs and provided with a computer setup with the necessary material.
Participants in the previous two workshops have found this format highly beneficial, allowing them to gain both theoretical and practical knowledge crucial for designing and processing their FMRI experiments. The classes will be limited to 30 participants.
